Hello, What is for you the best GlusterFS scenario in using XenServer (i'm not talking about Xen on a linux but XenServer baremetal) for a web farm (Apache-Tomcat) ? I were thinking of using ZFS as the filesystem for the different nodes. The objectives/needs : * A storage cluster with the capacity equal to at least 1 node(assuming all nodes are the same). * being able to lose/take down any

Hello, On a xenserver with several (39) domUs, we experience problems with the system clock of the domUs. The clock seems to drift away several seconds up to two minutes from the dom0 clock. We do have set independent_wallclock=0. According to the docs (i.e. http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/InstallationNotes) that way domUs should use the dom0 clock, but apparently that''s not the case.

I have 6 boxes with a client config (see below) across 6 boxes. I am using distribute across 3 replicate pairs. Since I am running xen I need to disable-direct-io and that slows things down quite a bit. My thought was to move the replicate / distribute to the backend server config so that self heal can happen on faster backend rather then frontend client with disable-direct-io. Does this

Lets say you had 4 servers and you wanted to setup replicate and distribute. What methoid would be better: server sdb1 xen0 brick0 xen1 mirror0 xen2 brick1 xen3 mirror1 replicate block0 - brick0 mirror0 replicate block1 - brick1 mirror1 distribute unify - block0 block1 or server sdb1 sdb2 xen0 brick0 mirror3 xen1 brick1 mirror0 xen2 brick2 mirror1 xen3 brick3 mirror2 replicate block0 -

Supermicro X7DWN+, XEON 5410, Centos 5.2, Xen 3.2.1 At what looks like random times network traffic over xen bridge stops working, the only way I found to fix it is a reboot. This sometimes takes 10 min, other times it may be up for 10 days. This happened with default xen that comes with RedHat EL 5.2 as well as a default install of Fedora 8. Any ideas? ><> Nathan Stratton

Hi, I'm currently running GlusterFS over XFS, and it works quite well. I'm wondering if it's possible to add data deduplication into the mix by: glusterfs --> lessfs --> xfs or glusterfs --> opendedupe --> xfs Has anybody tried doing this? We're running VM images on gluster, and I figure we could get a bit of space saving bu deduplicating the data. Gerald

Hello folks, I am running Xen 2.6 under Centos 5.2 installation, and am trying to port Xen migration abilities to Infiniband. But, the InfiniBand drivers do not work under Xen kernel, only under non-Xen kernels. It looks like I need to install some patches to rectify the situation. Has anyone ever worked with Infiniband and Xen and would be able to give me inputs about the same? I would really

Chip Clock HT Cache Bus Speed --------------------------------------------------------- 5080 3.7 GHz YES 2MB 1066 MHz 5160 3.0 GHz NO 4MB 1333 MHz Does the .7 GHz and HT worth more then 4MB cache and higher bus speed? The application is VoIP so there is not a lot of IO so I would not think Bus Speed would matter. I am finding mixed information on HT, some say it is great, others say it

I've been looking at some documentation on shared mail accounts. But I'm getting mixed thoughts on how this can or should be done. I use mbox for all my pop and imap folders since I've converted from a uw-imap server. The first thing that makes me wonder about setup is that I've been told to not use maildir and mbox on the same machine, although I'm not really sure why

Hi, I installed two linux VMs in XenServer 6.0, one is CentOS 5.5 and the other is Ubuntu 10.04, both of which are HVMs. I install xenserver tools many times and the packages are installed, but XenCenter keeps telling me that "Xenserver tools is not installed". Are xenserver tools of linux intended only for PV vm? I am not familiar with xenserver and need help.Thanks! Best Regards,

I'm trying to justify a GlusterFS storage system for my technology development group and I want to get some clarification on something that I can't seem to figure out architecture wise... My storage system will be rather large. Significant fraction of a petabyte and will require scaling in size for at least one decade. from what I understand GlusterFS achieves redundancy through

Hi, Are there any proposed dates for a new release of Gluster? I'm currently running 3.3, and the gluster heal info commands all segfault. Gerald

Hi, It''s been forever and a day since I last posted here, mainly because I haven''t touched Xen in a few years now due to job changes... But now I''ve been handed a project to work with XenServer, Citrix''s commercial grade Xen. So, I wanted to ask if there were any people here with experience using XenServer, XenCenter and so on, or if you knew of a better list
